Flown quite a bit and had several go arounds. PaperTiger, that includes one at Miami!

As tightslot points out, its where the flying is done that is a large factor. The bulk of my flying has been done within Europe and in the Far East/SE Asia. I've had no go arounds in Europe.

In the Asian tropics (I was mainly based in Hong Kong and Singapore) squally conditions can come and go in no time.

I recall coming back from Kota Kinabalu to Singapore and the (SQ) plane actually did a touch and go as we entered a squall. After we went around we landed on the same runway and it had virtually dried out.

Must admit, that one was a bit of a brown trouser event for me!
